HARRY H. CHANDLER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

IODIN FOUNTAIN-BRUSH.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed May 4, 1917. Serial No. 166,421.

Be it known that I, HARRY H. CHANDLER, a citizen of the United States,residing at 21 Nagle ave, New York,.N. Y., in the county of New York andState of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inIodin Fountain-Brushes; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such aswill enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame.

This invention relates to fountain brushes and more particularly to aniodin fountain brush.

The principal object of the invention is to provide an instrument of theabove stated character in which the various relative parts, except thebrush are constructed of vulcanized rubber or other suitable material,so that when the iodin is placed within the device it will in no waylose any of its medicinal properties, as would necessarily be the casewere the deviceconstructed of metal.

Another object of the invention is to provide an iodin fountain brushembodying a barrel to which is detachably connected a perforated stopperand through which is slidably positioned a cylindrical member providedcentrally with a discharge opening,

this cylindrical member being provided on its outer end with a conicalbrush surrounding the discharge opening of it, and this cylindrical memer is so constructed that when it is moved inwardly the iodin will flowoutwardly into the central portion of the brush and when it is movedoutwardly the discharge opening through it will be closed and preventany further escape of the iodin or other liquid which may be located inthe barrel.

A still further object of the invention is to provide the stopper with acentral perforation having its inner end flared outwardly and disposedthrough this perforation is a cylindrical member having its inner endflared outwardlyand adapted to frictionally engage and remain within theinner flared end of the stopper perforation to close the dischargeopening through the cylindrical member.

With these and other objects in view as will appear as the descriptionproceeds, the invention comprises the various novel features ofconstruction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be more fullydescribed hereinafter and set forth with particularity in the appendedclaim.

Referring to the drawings,

Figure l is a side elevation of my novel construction of .iodin fountainbrush, with the closure cap positioned over the brush.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation with the closure cap removed from the brushand positioned Over the opposite end of the device.

Fig. 3 is a detail view ofthe stopper showing the cylindricalmemberhaving the discharge opening through it arranged in closedposition. i

Fig. 4 is a similar view showing the cylindrical discharge memberarranged in open position with respect to the stopper and Fig. 5 is adetail sectional view through one end of the device.

Similar characters of reference are used to denotecorresponding partsthroughout the accompanying drawings and the following description.

It is to be understood that in carrying out the objects of the presentinvention, that the entire instrument, except the brush, is to beconstructed of vulcanized rubber or other suitable material, so thatwhen the iodin is arranged within it, it will lose none of its medicinalproperties which would be the case were the device constructed ofmetal.While the present invention is primarily designed for an iodin fountainbrush, it is to be understood that it can be used equally as well forthe dispensation of any other medicine or liquid wherein metal isundesirable owing to its eflect upon the chemical solution.

To this end, it will be seen by reference to the drawings, that myimproved iodin fountain brush consists of a cylindrical barrel 1 closedat one end and open at the other end, this open end being internallythreaded and detachably connected to it is the threaded end 2 of astopper 3 provided with an annular shoulder 4 designed to engage theupper edge of the barrel 1.

As shown the stopper 3 is tapered outwardly and over this stopper isadapted to be frictionally positioned a closure mp5, which is reversibleend for end upon the barrel 1. This closure cap has attached to it apocket clip, 6 which is designed to contain suitable insignia indicatingthe contents of the fountain brush and also an antidote to Patented Apr.2, 1918.

be used in case the person using the brush should become poisoned by itscontents,-

namely iodin.

The stopper 3 isprovided with a central" perforation 7 the inner end ofwhich is]; flared outwardly as indicated at 8, and sl1dably disposedthrough this perforation is a cylindrical member 9,- the inner end ofwhich is flared outwardly as indicated at 10 andis adapted to frictionally engage and remain 'within.t he outwardly flared'end 8 of theEBI'IEOIatIOII 7. The cylindrical member 9 as its outer end providedwith a head 11 adapted to limit its inward movement, while the flaredend 10 limits its outward movement. The cylindrical member 9 is providedcentrally with an inwardly extending discharge opening 12 which extendsinwardly'to a point adjacent the inner end of 'and when it is desired todis ense the iodin from it, the cylindrical mem er 9 is'moved inwardlyof the stopper until the head 11 engages the outer end of the stopperwhich in turn will move the flared end 10 out of the stopper and permitthe iodin to enter the discharge opening 12 through the passage 13 andpass into the central portion of the brush, thus permitting of the iodinto thoroughly and evenly distribute itself through th e-' b'ru sht. q

{When-a suff cient quantity of the iodin has vbeen used; the cylindricalmember" 9 is moved outwardly until the "flared end 10 engages w1thin theinner flared end '8 of the stopper perforation, after which it may berotated enough to frictionally engage and maintain the flared end 10within the flared opening 8. This frictional engagement will besufiicient to maintain the cylindrical member in a closed position andprevent the escape of any more liquid. I

I claim, f

A fountain brush comprising a barrel, a stopper threaded into saidbarrel and provided centrally With a perforation having its inner endflared outwardly, a cylindrical member slidably disposed through saidstopper perforation and having its inner end flared outwardly, andadapted to friotionally engage within the inner flared end of saidstopper perforation, said cylindrical member being provided centrallywith a discharge opening extending inwardly and having a lateral branchopening through the side wall of its inner flared end, means to limitthe inward movement of said cylindrical member, and a brush mounted onthe outer end of said cylindrical member and surrounding the dischargeopening thereof.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

HARRY H. CHANDLER.
